Yes. If you install the connection on a computer that is running Windows XP, you can do this by enabling “Network Sharing”. If you do not have a machine that is running Windows XP, you can purchase a program called “WinProxy” will allow you to share your connection. Only Macs connected to a home network. We are looking into a Mac compatible solution and will let you know when it is available.

Yes. To set up multiple computers to connect through your broadband provider from off-campus requires a router. However, some routers are incompatible with our VPN software. The current version of Cisco's VPN software available from this web site supports Apple's Airport Basestation and Basestation Extreme. Please contact your computer support liaison at Haverford for additional information and suggestions.

Yes it can. But keep in mind that this product is developed for Gigabit networks and in low bandwidth connections the deviation can be +12kbit/s. Also granularity for bandwidth settings is from 6kbit to 12kbit depending on size of network packets so in managing low-speed connection bandwidth it is not possible to be sharp.

Yes. Connecting your incoming internet connection up to a home router, you will be able to access the internet from any computer that is on the network.

Make sure you set up the dedicated IP address from your ISP under 'TCP/IP Internet Protocol' under your Windows Operating System By default the 'automatically obtain an IP address' is bubbled in. Bubble 'specify an IP addresses' and insert the dedicated IP address. Please ensure that you do a ping test to make sure the switch is communicating with your ISP/computers on the network.

If you have two or more computers that are networked together, you can share an Internet connection. The simplest method is to use software that lets you share the modem in one of the computers. However, the computer with the shared modem has to be powered up all the time. A more expensive approach is to use an external modem and a modem sharing device. Versions of Microsoft Windows starting with Windows 98 include modem sharing software.

AH: That depends on your connection to the internet. If you have a dialup service through your provider, you can use a modem-capable router with an external modem to give all the computers on your home LAN access to the Internet. You can also use a Mac with an internal modem as a router for the same purpose. If you have cable or DSL, you can use a router to connect everyone to the Internet. AH: These come-ons appeal to me, too.

Generally no. A few routers such as the Apple Airport have dial-up modems built in. If no dial-up modem is built into the router you will not be able to connect. If you have no internet connection at all your computers will be able to share data and resources locally but will not be able to access the internet.

In addition to the hardware and software described above for each computer, you will need an Ethernet hub. The hub will be the central connection point for each computer, and the ISDN modem, thus the hub you purchase will need enough ports for all of the computers you want to connect PLUS the ISDN modem.

Windows 98 SE has the ability to sahre a internet connection amonst other PCs on a LAN. If fact as ICS does NAT (address translation) it makes a firewall between the PC and the internet and so is useful on PCs not on a LAN. However ICS will always dial out when another PC on the LAN requests access. As this PC is likely to be some distance from the dialling PC the user won't here the modem and thus be unaware he is hogging the phone (at least that is how it seems to work in my house :-().

First I would advise you to research the Direct Connection, or the Router Connection. If you still need to use windows internet connection sharing then read below.

You will need an external NAT appliance such as firewall router or a PC running NAT software. You will need a standard Ethernet hub or switch as well which is available in any computer shop. This is pretty much covered in the Installation Manual.

Utilizing a shared Internet connection over a network is nearly identical to that of using it in a stand alone manner. The benefits of sharing an Internet connection in such a manner means you only need to purchase one Internet connection for your entire home or office and may reduce sign-on difficulties. SEADS Services specializes in the setup and deployment of computer networks and can configure a network specifically for your needs.

Yes. Wired and Wireless routers have controls that will allow you to see who is logged into your home network. The AOL for Broadband Compatible routers can all be accessed through a web browser on your attached PC using the IP numbers supplied by the manufacturer(192.168.1.1 for Linksys, 192.168.0.1 for Netgear, 192.168.0.1 for Actiontec). For other router brands or models you should consult their instructions or contact the manufacturer.
